I think Laura did a really good job finding five important pieces of information from the article. I learned about copyrighting in my government class and when being editor of the literary magazine in high school. I had to get all the students permission to use it. It was time consuming, but I understand why. When someone creates something, it becomes very personal. As a teacher and person I do not want to infringe on their personal space.
I am sure I will have to consider copyrighting and fair use as an English teacher. I may need my students to use material from the internet or other sources for class. Copyrighting and Fair Use may even be a good topic to discuss when the students are working on research papers. They need to understand the value of creation and taking pride in their work. Hopefully a full understanding will limit plagiarism.
